I don't know, but watch out for huge gangs of tough, sinewy men roaming the streets, terrifying people with their close-harmony singing.So to continue the trend of this thread which area of Stafford is the Welsh quarter and where do they all work?
A lot start there, find their feet and move on.The only Romanians I have met live and work at Billingtons Fruit Farm, you can see the workers waiting for the bus outside of the train station on a Saturday.

That's the one.
Is this John Marwood a troll?
Why would you let him post on this forum with this kind of offensive behaviour?
Do you not have proper Admin here?
...especially as Sandy hadn't posted for 5-and-a-half years.
John Marwood is on my ignore list, has been for ages
76 now - Wow!Any ( extremely contrived ) excuse to see Anna Karina ..
I've heard, anecdotally, that the recent wave of immigrants from Romania are centred around Friar's Terrace and the surrounding area.
I'm curious to know more about this new community, for example, in which sectors are they generally employed? Is it generally around the town centre where the community lives?
How many Romanians would you estimate have now settled in Stafford? These figures are impossible to ascertain from any government source - particularly as the majority of migration has occurred within a very recent timescale.
One other thing which may have quite an effect on Romanians working here is the devaluation of the pound against the leu - eighteen months ago, you could get 1 leu for 16p, it will cost you 20p now - that's quite a drop in the value of what you might be sending or taking back home.
I'm old enough to remember a famous cigar-smoker once saying "This will not affect the pound in your pocket.".Indeed, it would appear we won't need to close our borders as it'll no longer be economically worthwhile to come in the first place!
